I want to introduce you to GenealogyInTime Magazine, in case you're not aware of it. It's an online magazine or e-zine that I subscribed to a few months ago. They have offered many great ideas and tips for genealogists at every level.
What got me started on this today was a webinar by Thomas MacEntee I watched earlier this afternoon. He offered about 20 web sites that you'd probably never think of using for your research. I'll post some of what I learned from him in the coming days. I'm trying to finish up some client work and I really should be concentrating on that tonight!
Back to GenealogyInTime.... Today's message from them has to do with searching by country. They'll explain this much better than I can, but the simple version is, using a country or location specific Google search engine can radically change your results. I copied their chart of search engine URLs and put it in DropBox. You can access it at this DropBox link. It's not a very "neat" chart, but the info is accurate, especially if you want a Google genealogy search for the Isle of Man!
The current issue offers 10 "insights" to help you in your research efforts.
Keep watching for some of the Thomas MacEntee data. I can tell you this: I was thinking of what subjects I'd like to cover for a presentation I'm giving to the Western Massachusetts Genealogical Society this November. Thomas MacEntee gave me the answer!!
